The worst 'summer blockbuster' ever made

Rating: 1/10 (19 October 2013)

I don't mind big budget summer blockbusters. These days I expect a brainless CGI fest. It's not like we can expect a classic like Jaws or Jurassic Park anymore, but I'll admit I was mildly entertained by the likes of Godzilla, Armageddon and Transformers.
Pacific Rim on the hand is just awful. It's like watching Power Rangers. As good as the CGI was at one point I was convinced I was watching actors in rubber/metal suite fight over a miniature city. In fact it's like watching those old Japanese Godzilla movies, but nowhere near as good (and they were bad).
It was painful watching this. The acting is horrendous. And just when you think it can't get any worse, it gets worse. I honestly can't even remember what any of the characters names were and I only watched it 1 hour ago.
Honestly I feel sorry for kids if this is the future of Hollywood blockbusters. I can't believe we've gone from the likes of Jaws > Jurassic Park > Armageddon > Transformers > Pacific Rim. Talk about a downward spiral. How can it possibly get any worse? What's next?
